Adolescence After Alderaan

I love this podcast—I love the witty comments from the hosts and their determination to examine and attempt to make sense of the characters’ bananas decisions in these books. I really loved the older episodes, and the analysis of the Jedi Academy trilogy and the Callista were hilarious! I’m so sad they’re no longer available and would love to see them back! Thank you so much for all your work to make this insightful and funny podcast! As of 12/19/24, the episodes have disappeared again. I wish they could be made available once more! :( We appreciate all of your hard work! The episodes still have not reappeared as of 12/29/25. Maybe someday they will!

Two hilarious and highly intelligent academics read, review, and discuss the Star Wars Expanded Universe novels. Want to reminisce about what it was like to be a Star Wars fan in the pre-internet era? Ever pick up a copy of "The Courtship of Princess Leia" and wonder: what the heck is this? Yearning for a segment titled "Hutt Talk" examining the fascinating culture of the Hutt family? This podcast is for you! Read along or just listen in as your hosts revisit the books they read as teenage Star Wars fans, and do some serious - and sometimes silly - deconstructing.

I have listened to every episode so far and it continues to delight me with the hosts’ insight, humor and charm. Keep it up!
